At last, an easier way to draw interlocking oval!

Just your average everyday lizard citizen.

Mixed feelings about that advertisement

Is Scientology based on lizards from outer space?

Richard is so interesting. I wish I could hear more about how much he hates vegans.

when Charles Addams was on the cusp of the nut house, he would submit a cartoon to The New Yorker of a delivery room nurse holding a baby’s ankles and beating his head on the glass of the viewing room to alert the waiting parents, saying “it’s a boy!” It must be hard to make humor in these times.

Luckily there were no developments in the world of politics this week…….

Today’s “MARITAL MIRTH” is surely fiction.

Supposedly the “For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn” was a very short story recalling a tragedy whereas the baby never wore it cause the baby passed away. However, in real life we buy baby shoes, they wear them, but as a baby they don’t really use them as they can’t walk yet. I remember a neighbor who sold the expenseive Stride Rite brand back in the 90’s touting them as a necessary clothing item for a baby. Regular shoes maybe, and not really a necessity until they are learning to walk.

DEAD AND DYING: If only she had made it into a really-old-time-thingey, as in Sunday funnies before comic space was sold off to print advertisers.
